Coach Talk

The Bad News Bears
Yo, The Bad News Bears, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Not only did you win by 17+ points, you also climbed from seventh place to fifth in the league standings!
Touchdown Tigers
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 14. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
